The top rabbits are bewilderingly energetic, gregarious to a fault. They’re the sorts of people who would make good personal assistants to celebrities, but instead they’ve become assistants to regular people—a quick succession of regular people, even, within a single day.-Wired, TaskRabbit Turns Grunt Work Into a Game
